The "Mean Girls" character, played by out actor Jonathan Bennett, will appear in the pop star's highly anticipated music video for her smash single "Thank U, Next."
Grande released a snippet of the upcoming vid, which will parody a number of romcoms, including "Mean Girls," "Clueless," "Legally Blonde" and more. Bennett, who played the love interest of both Lindsay Lohan's Cady and Rachel McAdams' Regina George in the 2004 comedy, is featured in the "Thank U, Next" clip along with other iconic "Mean Girls" characters and singer Troye Sivan.
"Ariana Grande told me my hair looks sexy pushed back. She's not wrong," he says, referencing one of the film's iconic lines.
On social media, Grande shared a selfie featuring Bennett, 37, on her Instagram Story Saturday. The actor shared the same snap, captioning the pic, "Aaron [loves] Regina. Thank U, Next." In the pic, the pop star is wearing a blonde wig inspired by the ultimate mean girl, Regina George.
